UX, Usability and Design

Upside Down?

What do you see down? Or is it up?

It is an experience to see an interesting sense of humor from Facebook. All the “fixed” titles and labels and textual matter on Facebook goes upside down, when you choose your “Language” to be “English (Upside Down)” from Account Settings. Only the variable text, or the content provided by you is straight.

Hmm…I also see a “English (Pirate)” option. I tried that too for fun. Why don’t you play with Facebook settings for a change, if you’re bored scanning your Wall for nothing interesting? At least you’ll have something interesting to mention on your friends’ timelines.
